Re: [Sugar-devel] Willing to Contribute through GSoC

That's fairly difficult to predict.  Nothing about your skill map has
anything unique to open source.

I suggest you pick Sugarizer, Sugar, or Music Blocks.  Identify the
software license in whatever you have picked.

Then read the license, and if English is not your first language read
a translation of the license.  That will give you an idea of the scope
of work that we consider "open source".

Next, work towards writing, testing, and debugging open source
software, see http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html "Status
in the Hacker Culture".

For Sugar, which is based on Python, the document we maintain as
guidance to contributing is at
https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-docs/blob/master/src/contributing.md

Other software may have other guidance.

I think you should start by exploring the github page for sugar-labs (
https://github.com/sugarlabs/GSoC?tab=readme-ov-file) and do read the
README.md which you'll find in there. It turned out to be quite helpful for
me.

Thank you for the clarification.

How do I start contributing to the Sugar Labs software as this is my
first-time to open-source ?

Of the Sugar Labs software, nothing uses Java, Sugarizer uses HTML, CSS and 
JavaScript, and Sugar uses Python.  I'm not sure if anything uses MERN.

Open source contribution is that your new code is written by you and you either 
assign copyright during commit, or you retain copyright and give it an open 
source license before we can accept it.

Welcome.
